IMHO, an example of reasonable usage of this RPM facility in the current
context is the samba.spec:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/samba.git/plain/samba.spec

packages production. Instead, it builds the full Samba (with the AD bits
enabled) and performs the whole testsuite on top of the test build.
